1. Founder

   Artadia

   Jan 1997 — Present · New York, NY, US

   Artadia is a national non-profit that has created a national network supporting the nation\'s most promising artists. We\'ve provided over $20 million in direct and indirect support over the past twenty years while architecting a national network of arts patrons, gallerists, curators, museum executives and collectors to engage with artists and help them be more successful. he idea behind Artadia rests in the belief that artists are situated at the foundation of creative culture; that without vibrant artistic communities, society cannot flourish. I launched Artadia in 1997 following the collapse of the NEA\'s support for individual fellowships and sought to create a model that was efficient and which effectively leveraged philanthropic support both in local communities and around the country. The organization has since expanded its reach to operate in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, Boston and Atlanta with special artist awards presented in New Orleans and Miami. We have also developed a professional network of collectors, artists and arts professionals to forge a powerful support system for artists.
